Not So Macho Fans

On this week’s Not So Macho Fans, the Cheeseburger Boys take a trip down south to the Florida Keys with special guest Nic Hester-- @bortgumphries -- for 1975’s oddball-drama, 92 in the Shade. The three lads linger with the hang-out movie, searching for its tough guy mysteries like Jimmy’s lost shaker of salt. Listen in as the Fans’ make the best out of the film’s every virtue and vice – as if it was some sort of cheeseburger in paradise.

*Please note this episode was recorded inside the boys' fish smoker refrigerator, so the sound quality might be a bit off.*

Listen up as the Not So Macho Fans rock this motherf*cker like three the hard way. That's right! We're talking Gordon Park Jr’s 1974 action film, Three the Hard Way with very special guest and former Vulcan Video crew member, Nic Hester. Tune in for the toilet-themed Jackie Chan titles, but stay for the conversation around this amazing film. It's got everything-- Fred William's overflowing charisma, stunt-work from Hal Needham, music from The Impressions, and white supremacists getting torn the f*ck up.

This week the glass-jawed gents talk Akira Kurosawa's High and Low (1963). The Fans get into getting drunk during the 2009 World Series, one-man shows, and Kurosawa-firsts. Listen in as Luke dives into a bottle of Suntory whisky and pretend to know anything about it. Pop those ear-gates ajar and hear Danny interview friend of the pod, Slyvester Cologne. Do the Fans know anything about shoes?

This week, the doughy-hearted duo, Luke and Danny, talk about 1973's Walking Tall. "When a man loves a woman," Michael Bolton sings on his 1991 hit, "can't keep his mind on nothin' else." Too true, Michael. And when a man loves a large piece of lumber-- and his name happens to be Buford Pusser-- he can't keep his mind on nothin' else but homegrown justice. Luke and Danny talk this week about wrestling names, Danny's love of Las Vegas, and Luke's future career as a baseball mascot. Listen in!

On this week's episode, pasty pals Danny and Luke discuss Melvin Van Peebles's Sweet Sweetback's Baadasssss Song. They talk blaxploitation, empathy through film, nicknames, and the r&b superstars Earth, Wind, and Fire. Will these two guys be silly? Yes. Will Luke still be indecisive about answering questions? Absolutely. Is Danny still enjoying the same bottle of whisky from episodes past? Good question. Listen up to find out.

This week, the sensitive sofite scamps are back to discuss the Charles Bronson classic Mr. Majestyk, a little film about a man, his melon farm, and the people hell-bent on stopping his harvest. Hope you like bad Bronson impersonations because there are A LOT of them in here-- lots of talk about the toilets we've clogged as well.

This week, the Cotton Candy Crew-- sugary softies, Danny and Luke-- review John Boorman’s 1967 film, Point Blank. They’ll revisit Lee Marvin’s tough man persona as it crashes up against the counterculture and corporate crooks. Conversational tangents will take place. There will be singing. And you better believe a familiar friend will stop by for a chat.

This week, your soft serve boys, Danny and Luke, talk William Friedkin’s 1977 thriller Sorcerer. Listen to the boys as they discuss Roy Scheider’s sweaty stares, the inherent ruggedness of auto repair, the futility of trying at anything in an indifferent world, and silly nicknames they gave their cars. Come for the truck talk, stay for the special guests that drop in to add their own ingredients to this Sorcerer’s cauldron.

Listen to The Two McKings talk Steve McQueen in The Getaway! We also get around to Sam Peckinpah, Texas, cuckoldry, and Mark Felt. Also note that this podcast DEFINITELY wasn’t recorded months ago. People are still talkin' about Tiger King, right?

What better movie to kick off a podcast where two big softies talk about the toughest dudes in cinema history? Charlie Bronson, Lee Marvin, Jim "Dr. Door Destructo" Brown, Ernie Borgs, and the most uncool Kojak you've ever seen-- what a cast! Add Danny and Luke in there and you got a real Bodacious Baker's Dozen Plus One!
